I've viewed their prices online. Wasn't impressed by prices nor did I find the styles remotely attractive. (Not trying to diss your tastes, my bras are slutty!)

I ordered two from the USA on sale. The sale paid for the duty. :p Hopefully that will work for a while. Or Victoria Secret wil start carrying a DD.

Oh I understand haha. I needed a bra for my wedding and didn't exactly want my girls to be all over the place so I went there and got a good bra. Lasted me until now haha (married 2011 Sept) Walmart bras only last a few months :( Won't say the cup size, but I'm a 44 so I'm pretty big.. wait no, I'm a 42 now. WAS a 44.

I actually have had a few WalMart bras last forever. I did have a few for work because they were comfortable and didn't make the girls look huge. I think I've had one of them for 3-4 years.

The worst part is I'm actually between sizes so nothing really fits that well......grrrrr......

I wonder if maybe I'm going for the cheap ones haha. I used to wear bras with hearts on them and lace etc. Now I have to go with sensible crap. It sucks! I liked pretty bras, they surprised Mr P :p

I could never wear lace. My skin is too sensitive and it itches. Imagine scratching that all day :p

If you ever feel adventurous and have a little extra money for a bra, check out Fredericks of Hollywood. I have a few bras from them where it looks like I have fake boobs. They're that lifted. Plus they carry all sorts of sizes. They have all sorts of trampy clothing.... totally up my alley. It's probably a good thing I'm fat or I'd be dressed up like a total wh*re. ;D ;D ;D

Totally bookmarked that. Sad thing, I love La Senza and La Vie En Rose... but you have to be a stick to fit in their bras!

Yeah, I don't get why the bra sizes are so tiny here. La Senza was advertizing 'new sizes' one day. Hubby got excited (He secretly likes to go in there with me and daydream) and drug me over there. I pointed to the size "Band size 30." Yeah NOT happening. I'd have to remove my ribcage!!!!

On the other hand, I am glad they have those sizes for the women that actually need them. Calgary has a large Asian population and they tend to be of slight build.

I don't get why you have to be a cookie cutter size for La Senza. I mean, it's their business. They can run it however they want.... but really? More sizes, at least online = more customer base. Accept returns in store for online products.

Parker, Fredericks does a semi-annual clearance sale in July and right after Christmas, like a late Boxing Day sale. Sometimes you can get their bras for $12. In my experience, though, the lace ones don't look as good in person. They still look okay and they fit well, but not as good. I personally hate underwire and hate wearing them, so their extreme Hollywood bra and I don't get along, but the majority of their bras are comfortable enough for a long day. I bought one of those satin bras and it's very pretty and supportive.

i have to check out all these places people are recommending. once you go past a cup size D, la senza assumes your band size is huge. same with Victoria secret but it's not nearly as bad.

Funny considering they're the same company in the end ;)

I've had a decent morning. We went to the casino by Barlow Tr. for cheap breakfast, then spent $5 on the slots. My $5 turned into $95 magically :p I gave hubby $40 to play with and pocketed the rest.
